It is not well known the origin of this cocktail. American people say the drink was created by a bartender of their country. But it's probably that "John Collins"
was created by a bartender who worked at Limmer's, a famous bar in England at the end of nineteenth century. At the beginning of the last century there were two kinds of collins: Tom and John Collins, made with different kinds of Gin. Nowadays they are made only with dry Gin.
